In September Stampin’ Up! offers for a limited time six set of dies that coordinate with 2022-2023 Annual Catalog & July-December 2022 Mini Catalog stamp sets that are Perfect Partners. The Apple Harvest stamp set from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog is one of those fabulous sets and paired with the Apple Blossoms dies. I created two cards using the Apple Harvest bundle that uses both the stamp set images and the dies. You can watch the Facebook Live Replay of these projects on my Facebook page here or on my YouTube Channel below.
